Ecuador Ruins: Ingapirca or Rumicucho?

I will be in Ecuador for about a week in May, and already booked flights. I am in Quito for 4 nights and Guayaquil for 2 nights. After booking, I learned about the site of Ingapirca, and really want to see it (I'm into history, archaeology and ruins, etc), but seeing it is not practical unless I do a same day round trip flight to Cuenca and back, and then find my way to Ingapirca in between. Apparently there is another ruins site, Rumicucho, which is a lot closer to Quito, and would be much more convenient for me, while based in Quito.

So contrasting Rumicucho and Ingapirca, are they comparable, or is Ingapirca that much more amazing, that I really should consider making it to Cuenca for a day to get to Ingapirca? Or would I basically get a similar experience at Rumicucho?
